Gary Neville spots FIVE ‘sleeping’ Man Utd players ‘whinging’ as Newcastle take quick free-kick and score moments later
GARY NEVILLE slammed five Manchester United stars for "sleeping" during the clash against Newcastle.
Speaking on Sky Sports commentary for the game, Neville blasted five players for their role in Lewis Hall's strike for Newcastle in the first half.
After referee Robert Jones whistled for a foul, five Man United stars were seen complaining to him.
However, Newcastle did not wait around and swiftly played the ball.
Some superb wing play from Miguel Almiron set Joe Willock in behind the Red Devils defence.
His cross was headed away by Harry Maguire before ex-Chelsea star Hall volleyed the loose ball towards the bottom right corner to leave Andre Onana with no chance.
